Howso? McQueeg will appoint like the four, not the five.
Otherwise, they will overturn his namesake legislation.
Otherwise, it is a win for the Conservatives he hates.
Otherwise, his favored agenda would be stopped by judges ruling against him.
Who is the moron? Is it the person that expects McCain to suddenly change to a Right-thinking leader, or the one that expects his past track record to indicate future actions?
I think this went even better than Gresham figured it would. He’s been saying this will open the door for us to start getting a lot of laws thrown out.
Damn, I’m loving this.
IF the Establishment Media is so upset by the nasty negative tone in political they can look in the mirror.
Our Journalists routinely engage in hysteric, hyperbolic personal attacks and guilt by associating, innuendo and out right lying. IF they are upset by the tone of political discourse they have NO one but themselves to blame for it.
....something like: "After I signed up for LifeLock, I took a instant hot shower thanks to my Rennai water heater and then cooked up those delicious ABSteaks and fell asleep on our Sleep Number bed.'
Be careful, Barry. Sitting on the fence will give you a wedgie.
I thought it was the Spanish (Europeans)....live and learn.
As soon as Fox News announced the decision, I let the recorder capture the details -- while I stepped out back to my range and put a celebratory round in the x-ring in honor of each of the five Justices who (on the 2nd Amendment at least) have their heads on straight...
I thought it was the alligators
Good point.
Obama’s crime votes are fodder for rivals
Snip:
State law enforcement officials who worked with the senator at the time were hesitant to criticize Obama, saying only that while he sometimes voted for “individual rights” rather than for facilitating law enforcement, in other areas he was very supportive and was “always” open to discussion.
In 1998, Obama was one of only three senators to vote against a proposal making it a criminal offense for convicts on probation or on bail to have contact with a street gang.
In 2001, Obama voted against a measure that would have expanded the penalties for some gang activity to include the death penalty. The bill was vetoed by then-Gov. George Ryan (R ) not long after he had issued a moratorium on the death penalty in the state.
Obama, at the time, said the bill would unfairly target minorities, stating, “There’s a strong overlap between gang affiliation and young men of color … I think it’s problematic for them to be singled out as more likely to receive the death penalty for carrying out certain acts than are others who do the same thing.”
Obama opposes the death penalty except for terrorists, serial killers and child-murderers, but his campaign added that he does not support the death penalty as it is currently administered in this country.
On a 1999 vote making adult prosecution mandatory for aggravated discharge of a firearm in or near a school, the senator voted “present.”
He explained the vote, saying, “There is really no proof or indication that automatic transfers and increased penalties and adult penalties for juvenile offenses have, in fact, proven to be more effective in reducing juvenile crime or cutting back on recidivism.”
And in 2001, Obama voted “present” on a bill that would increase penalties for trafficking in Ecstasy and other designer drugs.
The senator questioned the length of some drug penalties when compared to other crimes, noting that selling 15 tablets of Ecstasy was a Class X felony, as was raping a woman at knifepoint.
The first-term senator faces critics who question his experience and qualifications, but analysts think his short stint in the U.S. Senate is an advantage because it means he had less time to cast controversial votes that could be used against him.

Note: Constitutional lawyer? Well, he can chuck that over as well as the real birth certificate.
With the state of the court, no way we can let Obama in... thank goodness for the last two justices; Had Kerry won, who would’ve been sitting there and how much of the constitution would be shredded by now?
I’m gonna put ‘em in the 10 ring for the idiots that wanted to take my guns. Oooops, I ain’t got no steenkin guns.
All your conspiracy kookdom are belong to us!
If the moron fits, wear it!
Congress on C-span(ing for democrats) is just silly
dems are screaming that 65 million acres allwed to be drilled for oil and gas sets untouched....Oh the hypocracy ,they scream......
Sheesh; I hate when FR is slow because I just get further behind and never get to post my wonderfully deep and provoking insights. (Just kiddin’ about the deep and provoking part.)
Obama quote:
“There’s a strong overlap between gang affiliation and young men of color...”
Well that racial profiling bigot!!!!!!!
It’s unbelievable what has happened to this country....
Note to McCain supporters:
Rush is making the case (in a subtle way) that Obama must not win the Presidency.
It’s de facto support for McCain’s victory in the fall.
You may now return to your normal thin-skinnedness. :)
IMO, the grabbers will shift their aim to ammo.
